Calculating Risk

Protecting young eyes

Children should wear suncream on their skin in strong sunlight. Likewise, their eyes must also be protected from the sun's effects. Children should wear sunglasses when they are outside for extended periods of time, especially in bright sunlight.

The Sightrisk Children's Cataract Calculator accurately assesses a child's risk of developing cataract in later life.

The greater transparency of the lens within a child's eye makes it more susceptible to harmful rays, therefore is it important to protect children's eyes from a young age. Risk assessment must be used to identify who is likely to be at risk of cataract, and the personalised prevention plan provided by Sightrisk should be followed to reduce this risk early in life.

The Sightrisk Children's Cataract Calculator is used by select eyecare professionals in the UK and Ireland. If you are an eyecare professional, please visit Transitions Optical, our UK and Ireland distributors, at www.transitionsnet.co.uk.
